If by "LDP", you mean "Label Distribution Protocol", we don't have a
plugin.  Will a *built-in* protocol dissector be sufficient?

Not all protocol dissectors *have* to be plugins, and not even all *new*
ones have to be plugins; if you want a dissector for a protocol, you
should ask for a dissector, not just for a plugin.

There is no LDP dissector in the most recent Ethereal release; however,
we *do* have a dissector for LDP under development in the current CVS
tree.

It's still under development, so it may not yet be sufficient for your
purposes, but Richard Sharpe's working on it.  If you want to use it,
you'd either need to use anonymous CVS to get the source and compile it:

or get one of the nightly snapshots of the CVS source from
